Keeneland-Sold Juveniles Headline Schuylerville, Sanford

You are here

LEXINGTON, KY (July 20, 2012) – A number of promising juveniles and an established champion highlight the Keeneland sales graduates competing in graded stakes this weekend. The talented maiden winners Sweet Shirley Mae, Fully Living and Brown Eyes Blue, all graduates of the 2011 September Yearling Sale, go postward in today’s Schuylerville Stakes (G3) at Saratoga. Five of the nine colts entered for Sunday’s Sandford Stakes (G2) are Keeneland sales graduates, topped by the impressive maiden winners Rose Junction and Bern Identity.

Champion Royal Delta, the highest-priced horse in training ever to sell at Keeneland, is the 124-pound highweight in the Delaware Handicap (G2), where a win would automatically qualify her to defend her title in the Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic (G1) on November 2 at Santa Anita.
